ifort: "could not write to argument file"

[bigman]

I get these errors when I try to compile a fortran source file with Visual Fortran 8.0 (I do have enough disk space on C: and I do have permissions to create and change files in the folders mentioned below):

Try it with 8.1 (8.1.025 is current) and see if it still happens. I'm home right now and that particular error doesn't look familiar, but you're using 8.0, so my automatic advice is to try the current version.

Could you send me a link so that I can download it?

If you have a license entitling you to support, you can get the current version from Intel Premier Support, click on File Downloads in the left column.

But to be honest this error does not sound much like a compiler bug - rather, it looks as if you don't have permission to write into your own Temp folder.
